ABSTRACT:
The method and apparatus feature detecting an interrupt service request; storing into an instruction cache interrupt service instructions in response to detecting the interrupt service request; and fetching instructions from the instruction cache into an instruction stream sequence, the instruction stream sequence including mainline program instructions and the interrupt service instructions resulting in allocating core processor bandwidth between the interrupt servicing and mainline program instructions while executing the instruction stream sequence based on an interrupt priority; and processing instructions within the instruction stream sequence including the mainline program instructions and the inserted interrupt servicing instructions. The method and apparatus further feature recycling of executed micro-ops and detecting imminent context switch for interrupt service instruction preparation.
